With top-to-bottom centering the primary condition flaw with this otherwise strong 1964 Topps Mantle, SGC had little choice but to issue a grade of EX/NM 6. However, despite the technical attributes of the card, the image quality is excellent, corners sharp, and left-to-right centering very strong within the grade. One of the finer Mantles we have seen from this condition-sensitive set which is plagued by centering issues and print defects.
